Street Sign in Yellow Springs

Talitha the Tongue gave me two reasons to laugh this morning. She told me to check out the new street sign on the way to town this morning.I had to drop off some art balls at the Nolaa Gallery and the Vampire Rabbit Gargoyle painting to IN A FRAME Gallery. Whoever put the sign there was right, it WAS a big bump lol! The second was her response when I told her my wee artist statement for my exhibit.
Like a quilt,
life is made up of fragments
stitched together to create a whole,
captured with scraps, patches, wood and paint.
Some fragments are fresh, others worn with age,
but they make up who we are and
tell a story.

Naw! Talitha says, make it simple
Buy my shit
I’m broke

Hey, submit your art work to Sojourn Journal, its free and best artist gets a small bit of cash. Please submit your work. The journal is out of the university of texas at dallas and as a former art editor, I think your work would be a good fit.

Why doesn't "she" or whoever made the sign, sign up to be the official signmaker for the state of Ohio? Lordy, 'malfunction' junction (it is also called something more sinister and starts with an 'f') is a classic example of bad-ass curves, among other things.

I loved the painting, by the way, and your little 'I am broke' buy me message.

I laughed outloud.

HAHAHAHA That elicited a hardee har har from me - and thank goodness, my coffee was on the counter at the moment too!

My daughter is charged with creating some new state "logos" for a school project - I wish she was old enough to visit your blog. Forget the "Centennial State" we need something like "Where the plains meet the big ass mountains".

Aw geez...now I have gone and spit Coke all over the laptop screen.

Dang but those are both perfect signs. I do believe in honesty in signage...

When Bill was still looking for a permanent civvie job last year he said he was just gonna start putting, under the why do you want to work with us statement, because without another job, we will be broke. My daughter likes shoes too much and my son is STILL in college. PLEASE hire me. PLEASE!!! For God's Sake HIRE ME!!!

Truth in advertising...

Now, it just needs to finally cool down and act like October.

Hugs,
Sue

That sign is so funny!!! I know EXACTLY what street that is-the laundrymat's on the corner. I don't know how everyone who lives on that street deals with the amount of road grit that gets lifted into the air & deposited into your houses!!! I feel for your lungs & furnishings!! Hope nobody has any birds because they'd be dead from all the air grit!
